One Way
A League Of Our Own Vol. 2 Lyrics

The song "One Way" by A League Of Our Own Vol. 2 tells the story of a man who is trying to sneak out of a woman's house without being seen by her neighbors or her man. He asks her to raise her window so he can slip out quietly, because he doesn't want to risk running into her man. He knows that if he is caught, there will be trouble. He emphasizes that he only has one option - to escape through the window - and that he won't try to leave via the door. The man is clearly trying to avoid being caught in a compromising situation or getting himself into any kind of trouble. He promises that if he escapes this time, he won't be caught again.

The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is trying to sneak away undetected, perhaps reflecting a certain level of guilt or shame on the part of the man. He is apprehensive and cautious, trying not to raise suspicion. The repetition of the line "Ain't but one way out, I ain't goin' out that door" reinforces the sense of urgency and determination that the man feels to escape without being seen. Additionally, the lines "If you raise your window I can ease out soft and low / Your neighbors gonna be talkin' that stuff, me don't know" suggest that he is concerned about his reputation and what others might think of him.
